Oh Internet...when you're not showing me unspeakable visions of bodily horror, you are hitting me with nostalgic knockout blows. Out of nowhere today, I was reminded of these cheap knock-off plastic figures that were first available in the late '70s. They are sometimes known as Star Patrol or Galaxy Laser Team. I had them as a kid but had almost completely forgotten about them. Any of you other old-timers remember these?

I feel like I just got out of the hot-tub time machine. I wish I knew whatever happened to my set. I remember setting them up on the furniture in strategic positions, and shooting them with rubber bands. I remember all of those, except for the girl. I might've separated her out and given her to my sister to play with, so she wouldn't get shot.

Precisely...and I suppose they were sold wherever you can find green army men...five-and-dime/mom-and-pop shops and grocery stores and the like. Apparently, TimMee has re-molds currently available wherever "fine toys" are sold.
